Chapter 554 The Lich King's Troubles
The Lich King and Kane had long fought in Northrend.
The floating fortress built by the crypt spiders under the order of the Lich King was more than a dozen kilometers away from the Freemasons' Winter Fortress, and it was blasted to pieces by the magic cannon and crashed.
The other saw that the situation was not good and wanted to escape, but he was also beaten down, not as thoroughly broken as the first one.
The Dread Demon King who likes to see other people's bad luck, and likes to joke and talk strange things, for this reason, he often blamed the Lich King, saying that he was a great success, making such a sharp-looking guy.
Kane was not at the scene, otherwise he would have to reply for the Lich King: "In terms of flamboyance and pretentiousness, including you Nathrezim, the Burning Legion clans who kneel and lick Sargeras, if you recognize the first Second, who in this universe is qualified to be number one?"
This is not Kane bickering, but in his opinion, the Burning Legion series is really a good trick. It can be said that sculpture and painting are applied to all aspects.
From the aesthetic point of view of the elves, it may not be fine enough, but you must know that it is for the titans. The details that are not fine enough in the eyes of the elves are small ant-level problems in the eyes of the titans. Pay attention to the details of the level, it would be too hypocritical.
The Burning Legion is powerful, but it has never been a motivated, internally united organization that can work well together.
Among them, the Nathrezim are the one that dances more happily and is trained most frequently.
In Kane's view, the dreadlords who oversee the Lich King, in short, are ineffective.
It was very unfortunate for the Lich King to encounter such a group of cheap ruffians.
For example, in another matter, it was obvious that the Dreadlords failed to handle it well, but in the end it was the Lich King's fault.
This matter has depressed the Lich King so far, that is, the Freemasonry has occupied almost all the good ports in Northrend.
The continent of Northrend is high in the north and low in the south. The difference between high and low is relatively large, like a big step.
From the perspective of the coastline, the coastline in the north of the Northrend mainland is all like cliffs, and the situation will not improve until the Borean Tundra in the west and the Howling Fjord in the east.
The problem is that to the east of the Borean Tundra is the Blue Dragon Sacred Land of Koalada Island, and the Howling Fjord only has a piece of land in the coastal lowlands that is suitable for a port.
As a result, because the dreadlords want to show their talents,
Trying to fool the intelligent creatures in the coastal areas of the southern route into the network and delaying time, so that the Freemasons seized the opportunity.
Intrepid Hold, Cascara, Kamagu, Rogue Harbor, Port Moa'kee (Tusruser) in Keelwild, and Risk Bay in Grizzly Hills. There are also various problems.
Dragonbone Wilderness is the burial ground of guardian dragons, where guardian dragons of five colors have temples, and dragons in Wyrmrest Temple are not easy to provoke.
The original historical line Alsace Landing and the Forgotten Beach where the ship was later burned, it is a sandy beach and suitable for the development of a deep-water port.
The Scourge was finally forced to have no choice but to run to the seaside lowlands on the easternmost side of the Howling Fjord to establish a port.
It is far away from Kamagu, one is in the east by north, and the other is in the west by south, but the topography of the lowlands by the sea is far worse than that of Kamagu.
Kamagu is a big island, but the west side of the seaside lowland is a towering cliff, the kind that needs a large elevator to go up and down, that is to say, if you put a few cannons on it (Plain of Giants), then the port on the lowland...
It was on the original historical line, and it was the port of revenge established by the Forsaken. The Forsaken, headed by Sylvanas, also hated the Scourge and the Lich King very much, that is, the Lich King and Arthas. The name of Port of Revenge expresses its attitude.
But now, Cirvanas is still a ranger general, and his subordinates have more combat power (metal puppet corps) to deploy. Even if the Scourge invades, there is no need to play hide-and-seek.
Speaking of guerrilla warfare and peek-a-boo, although they are well played, they are quite compelling, but they can't get rid of the stingy and bitter taste that they can only play cunning, insidious, and even cowardly.
Anyway, Kane felt that the majestic formation, winning the battle, and convincing the enemy, this is serious and refreshing, and the others are not forceful, and at the same time it is easy to go wrong.
Speaking of the Lich King's dissatisfaction, the majestic Scourge was almost suffocated to death in Northrend. Both the Lich King and the Dreadlord were worried about this matter.
They also tried to attack these ports, and finally experienced what is called inside the naval gun, which is the truth.
They can't break through the blockade of naval guns at all, and more than 60% of their combat power will die on the way of charging. It is not allowed to charge up, and it will not help. The strength is not concentrated enough to break through the defense line of the port.
What's more, there is the natural barrier of the ocean, and this super puddle really cannot be filled.
The Lich King also tried to use the undead nature of the Scourge to swim across the sea.
And it was a combination of open space, a large number of dead flying spiders and plague bats piled up like dark clouds.
However, with Kane's consistent urgency, anyone who dares to stand up must have something to rely on.
The magic energy shock wave bomb is equally effective whether it is in the air or in the sea. Due to the density of water in the sea, the wave transmission is more rigid. Very miserable.
The Lich King even went so far as to ask the crypt spiders to dig a tunnel under the sea, but every time they dug half of it, it was destroyed, and the big explosion added sea water.
After a few times, the Lich King, who was beaten to the ground, had to recognize the reality. They have sharp methods to detect and prepare early, and they are effective enough.
It is precisely because of this that the Lich King changed his grand plan, and the Dreadlord agreed to allow the Scourge to grow again. And due to external pressure, their internal discord has been much smaller.
Later, the Dread Demon King chose to come here (the Freemasonry can defend against large groups but cannot defend against small troops). The Kingdom of Lordaeron developed, and the Lich King later recruited Kel'Thuzad. The free people, waited for cooperation, and then came up with the natural disaster invasion.
In fact, compared with the original historical line, the momentum is much smaller, but the overall plan is obviously more meticulous and meticulous, which has achieved certain results.
What the Lich King and the Dread Demon King didn't know was that when they sent the floating fortress to test the waters to attack the Masonic Winter Fortress, Kane's power was actually limited. If the Lich King could make up his mind to take a gamble, If you put all his belongings directly, then there is a high probability of winning.
As soon as it was delayed, Kane was able to catch his breath. Even the invasion of natural disasters made the Kingdom of Lordaeron the hardest hit area, while the performance of the Kingdom of Falcon was mediocre. Kane didn't even show up. Hard work on internal strength.
Today, the base called Sun Moon Island by Kane on the sea west of the Icecrown Glacier in Northrend is already on orbit, and is producing materials day and night, so that the materials of the Masonic Society can be self-sufficient without the need to travel long distances by sea, Kai Well, this breath is half breathed.
The other half is the Sangvis swarm online.
In recent years, the holy knights of the Holy Palace and the Knights of the Silver Hand have gone out to practice, and they have eliminated violence and banditry, thus providing a large amount of embryonic materials for the birth of his iron-blooded swarm.
In the end, the main fighters of the Iron Blood Swarm were stereotyped as dragon orcs, those with male characteristics were warriors, and those with female characteristics were spell casters.
These dragon orcs look somewhat similar to the colorful dragons studied by Onyxia's brother Nefaria, and they are all hybrids.
However, Nefarian is more interested in the blood of the dragon, hoping to unite the blood of the five-color dragon.
Kane is not so secretive about the bloodline of the guardian dragon. After all, he knows that the source of the guardian dragon is the original dragon of Northrend, or the proto-dragon, a large flying lizard.
The dragon orcs he developed were not half-dragons with a human upper body and a large lizard's lower body when there were no centaurs, nor were they tall humanoids with a lizard head on top of their claws and toes. .
The dragon orcs he developed look more like semi-wild humans.
Some druids have similar bestial features. For example, the famous Malfurion Stormrage, his antlers, claw feet, and wings on his arms are typical half-beast features.
The dragon orcs are the same, but the characteristics of half-beasts are obviously dragons, and the characteristics are very clear.
Such as scales, such as dragon horns, such as almond-shaped pupils...
When Onyxia saw the dragon orcs, she was immediately overwhelmed by their exterior and interior. Said that this is her ideal lower class people.
It turns out that Onyxia wants to realize her queen dream, but she is not satisfied with a few broods of dragons, big and small. She hopes to realize the real kingdom. The dragon people have always been the lower class people she is more optimistic about. , that is, slaves including humans, elves, etc.
She now knows that Kane is also a dragon, and seeing these dragon orcs again, she is more and more satisfied with her marriage. Start to send dreams of one person under one person and above ten thousand people all day long.
Kane's attitude towards Onyxia is that as long as you don't do it, it's fine.
He has been relatively busy, mainly because his team lacks core researchers and high-end engineering mages who can use extraordinary magic to take shortcuts to bypass scientific difficulties.
This kind of job is now held concurrently by him.
If you want to say that there are any commendable research inventions, there is none, just like ruminating, once again presenting your own knowledge system in the form of creation in this world.
But it is true that practice makes perfect, and in this repeated process, there are still some improvements in various details.
The other is parameter calibration, which is a big project and a tiring job. Most of Kane's so-called research work is doing this.
The reason why he works so hard is because he thinks this is his job, and even the body is fancy. It’s not the root of it. The root is this technical system. No matter how good it is, it can’t be overstated .
Everyone in the world thought that his lair, and the core of the Falken Kingdom, was the city of Garin at the diagonal crossroads of Arathi.
actually not.
His core insect swarm system, whether it is production or research and development, is located in the southeast mountainous area of Arathi. It was once home to the Witherbark trolls.
As the oldest aborigines, the living places chosen by the trolls are often extremely advantageous in terms of terrain and terrain.
The same is true for Deadwood Village. From the big map, it occupies the southeast corner, surrounded by mountains, and has an open view. Not only does it have a natural stepped terrain, but it also has a moderately sized lake, which is both protection and a source of water.
After Kane took over here, on the surface it was a large training camp for the Holy Palace, but in fact it was the research and production base of the Iron Blood Swarm.
Specifically, it is similar to the Menzoberranzan city he built in the HP world, so there is nothing special to introduce. Kane himself has a meme about dungeons:
It is said that we should learn from the spirit of Ewha, Home Inns and other express hotels, so that the whole world is like a family. Wherever we go, the layout of the room, the color of the decoration, the supplies and the way of placing them are all exactly the same, making people familiar.
This insect nest almost fits this statement. Onyxia especially likes the quiet sea of light grass, and likes to sleep in this environment full of comfortable energy in the form of her real body.
When Kane came back from Lordaeron this time, he smashed the Onyxia he saw here. After satisfying Onyxia's reproductive requirements, Kane went to the battleship hall.
In the city of Menzoberranzan in the HP world, the battleship hall is the intelligence center, commanded by a group of brain implanters, and it controls the intelligence work of each European country, but here, it is each area, Tirisfal Woodlands, Silverpine Forest, Gilneas, Darrow, The Hinterlands...
On the way back, he received a report from Northrend that a large army of the Lich King had come to the Kingdom of Lordaeron in mighty warships. The landing point cannot be judged.
